Your Child's Health > Scheduled Visits

Each well child check up includes a complete physical exam, developmental screening, and weight and height measurements. For babies under 3 years of age we will also be measuring the head circumference during every check up.

This is the suggested schedule for well visits according to the American Academy of Pediatrics.
